Nice...looks like he went from 195 to 228 in a year and a half...next coming of Billy White? Based on what I've read .. he's similar to 'project' big men like Garret or Maxey. It sounds like he's strictly a shot blocker and rebounder right now, but his missouri coach had good things to say about his progress ... Anderson said. “We are saddened to see John leave the program. He was really developing. We were seeing great signs from him every single practice. It sounds like he struggled his freshman year with the level of competition in the big 12, but worked extremely hard on his offense and lifting weights to get stronger and it sounds like he has a solid work ethic.

It is quite sad that he had to leave he team due to a family illness, it is great that his coach thinks a lot of him and he isn't leaving due to playing time or academic issues. SDSU will be fortunate to have him playing for us in a few years.

The Arizona Prep article may not be correct.

The story of his transfer here has been removed from the Aztecs' rivals home page. It was the main header earlier. Weird.

Missouri must have a lot of depth because those are very meager stats for a Forward in his Sophomore year.

Not sure why the hostility towards Rivals exists. Just like on here, you analyze who post interesting speculations, who posts probable rumors and who posts actual data. The three guys who have been moderators over on Aztec Sports Report, as well as most of the National reporters have been really decent about posting good, actual information with a lot of back ground details. Some of the moderators from other colleges, as well as locl high school moderators post a lot of pure speculation.
Seems like one of the first lessons learned in college was to verify the validity of data, which includes verifying the biases and integrity of the people reporting the data.
In the long run, the system worked. The moderator for Aztec Sports Report waited until he had valid data and then reported there may be a problem with the original news report. I would imagine shoddy reporting by people he is associated with probably irritates him as well.
By the way, he never stated where Underwood is heading, only that the Arizona Preps report may not be accurate.

Per Tom @ ASR the report is NOT true. At this time he is NOT coming to SDSU.

He was only rated a 75 on ESPN (both Franklins were 90) and he averaged a couple minutes and about 1 point at Missouri, I just don't see why everyone was so exited.
